What to specify
- Wheel guides. Steel guides steer trailers straight into the middle of each bay.
- Steel bollards. Galvanised, painted steel bollards, concrete-filled where needed.
- Dock bumpers. Bumpers that stop trailers at the right distance from the building.
- High visibility. Bright finishes make protection easy for drivers to see and avoid.
- Polymer bollards. Flexible bollards that absorb impact and spring back.
Jobs we can carry out
- Setting concrete-filled steel bollards in excavated foundations to protect a yard roller shutter from HGV impact.
- Adding steel guide-rail guards to a row of sectional loading doors at a distribution centre.
- Replacing bent bollards and checking the slab and anchors around them before fitting new fixings.
Who is responsible for loading bay equipment at a site in Yate?
The employer or occupier is. PUWER 1998 requires work equipment to be maintained and inspected, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 cover vehicle and pedestrian routes around the dock. In practice that means planned servicing of levellers and doors, daily pre-use checks and a clear procedure to stop trailers moving during loading.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Yate vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Bollards and door protection in Yate: your questions
Do you replace dock bumpers across Gloucestershire?
Yes. We replace worn dock bumpers and fit wheel guides and corner bollards at loading bays across Gloucestershire, often during a leveller service or bay refurbishment to save a separate visit.
Can bollards at our Yate site be replaced after a strike?
Yes. Damaged bollards and guards can usually be replaced individually. We check the fixings and the slab around them first, because a bent bollard often loosens its anchors or cracks the concrete at its base.
Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Yate site?
We check slab thickness and look for buried services before drilling. Polymer bollards and proper foundations reduce the risk of slab cracking on heavy impacts, and we recommend the right fixing for your floor.
